Series
These two series have been an opportunity for me to keep my hand and brush moving. I learned so much working with the authors who inspired these paintings.
In the Olwyn series, I realized how important movement is to the human experience. The rhythm and sounds of world dance have inspired me when I'm stuck on a particular piece. After a grapevine around the studio, my brush is ready to dance with the music.
The Nature Portals series was a challenge to synchronize image to word. The two authors of Nature Portals: Animate Earth Practices, are steeped in Shamanic Tradition. Their entries call us to listen and communicate with the natural world. My longing to understand the messages of all animal, plant and elemental kindoms on Planet Earth, led me to say yes to this meaningful project.
Nature calls in many more ways than one!
